The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for the given year is not complete until April of the following year. Annual Reports data is a snapshot of agency reported information for that year and hence might look different from the live data in the Awards Information charts.

Graded rare earth hafnia multilayer coatings with three different top layer compositions will be deposited on SiC CMC and alumina substrates, characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS, and subjectedtoflowing air-steam at 50% relative humidity without and with CMAS in both isothermal and thermal cycling conditions.Post test analyses include weight change, SEM microstructure characterization changes, XRD/ED ...

Conventional vehicle armor has evolved considerably over the years, including homogeneous plates, composite materials, and reactive substrates.Variable orientations have also been implemented, including curved, sloped, angled, and spaced plates.A common characteristic among these conventional armor solutions is that they are static and incapable of changing in response to local threats.Adding a me ...

Natural biological materials possessing hierarchical structures often exhibit extraordinary material properties, which have become important inspirations for high-performance material design. In this study, Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI) along with University of Virginia (UVA) propose to develop a bioinspired adaptive material with high damage tolerance for the next generation smart lightweight ...

The objective of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate intelligent algorithms for combat casualty care embedded in a small, low cost, high-performance, open architecture computer system.In this project we focus on critical interventions in treatment of combat casualties, specifically hemorrhage control and airway management. In related work MDC is developing tools for combat casualty ...

Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the ultimate prize in 3D printing technology because this technology could spread beyond the prototyping and customized production phases and revolutionize manufacturing, supply chains and logistics. However, the ARMY states that no current AM processes meet its needs to print large metallic structures. To meet the Armys urgent need, we propose to develop and v ...

The steering of optical axes has become a part of many systems, and is typically achieved using a mechanical steering mechanism. In order to integrate HEL weapons onto SWaP constrained platforms, a small, lightweight, agile beam steering system (BSS) with microradian accuracy is required.Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) and Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS) propose to develop a Liquid Crystal Pola ...

Phase II prototypes and demonstrates a Command Post Antenna Remoting System (CARS) that can remote antennas for up to six radios in these frequency bands: HF (1.6-30 MHz), Low VHF (30-88 MHz), and UHF (225-450 MHz). The planned radios are the PRC-150/160 (HF); RT-1523 ASIP (SINCGARS/Low VHF), and PRC-117G (UHF), although many other radio types can interoperate with CARS. Each antenna remoting link ...

In this Phase II effort, Zeteo will further develop over-the-ear and in-ear canine hearing protection device prototypes. These devices will combine passive hearing protection with active noise cancelation. The devices will also have a communication channel to allow the handler to communicate with the dog. Design requirements evolved from Phase I will be used to design over-ear and in-ear configura ...

J.F. Taylor, Inc. is proposing to research, design, develop, and build a centralized mission computer that employs an Open Systems Computing Hardware Architecture.Our Phase I tasking will research HOST Tier II core technology standards and additional existing standards to develop and recommend the generic product performance attributes to support an advanced mission computer that is interoperable, ...
